I love quotes that add meaning to my life. Here are a few to live by:

We can dramatically increase global food availability and environmental sustainability by using more of our crops to feed people directly and less to fatten livestock.â€”Jonathan A. Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment, U of MN

Cooking is at once childâ€™s play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love.â€”Craig Claiborne

People who eat according to the rules of a traditional food culture are generally healthier than those of us eating a modern Western diet of processed food.â€”Michael Pollan

Bronwyn Jones Dunne Selected by IACP as Featured Blogger

Last week, the International Association of Culinary Professionals chose my blog as one of three to promote via their blog roll. This may not seem like the biggest deal in the world but for a grassroots blog like mine to be chosen by an international organization representing over 3,000 members of a broad segment of the food world, it was a nice tribute. They noted my latest posts on successful farm to school programs as a reason my blog was chosen. That really made me happy!

Bronwyn Jones Dunne, author, food writer and blogger atÂ In the Kitchen with Bronwyn, has a wonderful on-going series about farm to school initiatives taking place in Vermont and Connecticut. If youâ€™re interested in the process of connecting education with farming and the land, then her posts are a must read. See the tribute.Â

That’s fabulous Bronwyn! Maybe you’d be interested in the programs at Green Mountain College in Poultney. A young man I know went there and then went on to intern on farms in Europe last summer after graduation. He interned on some VT farms during the program. Don’t know what’s next in his life, but I know it sure wasn’t part of the curriculum when I was in college. Another son of one of our friends has become a butcher, working in New Haven. There seems to be SO much going on in the 20 something generation!

So great, Bron. I remember returning on a plane with you from Paris almost exactly two years ago and you were deep in concentrationâ€¦designing the logos etc for this Blog! You have accomplished so much in a short time.

Oh my goodness! It seems as though that was almost another lifetime! If I compare notes, I have to mention your great new photograph exhibition opening at the end of the month in Antiqua. Remember how we toured Paris Photo? I think that trip was full of inspiration….

Now this is beginning to sound like a real conversation. Thank you, Lee for your kind words. It’s so nice to think of you reading the posts so far away…I will email you so I can catch up with what you’re doing!
